AMAZON PRIME VIDEO, AUG 6 – Ice Cube's sci-fi adaptation scored 0% on Rotten Tomatoes with critics citing poor acting and production; audience ratings also remain low despite initial streaming popularity.
- This past week, Netflix's My Oxford Year secured a 27% Rotten Tomatoes critics score, while War of the Worlds holds a 0% critics and 17% audience rating, Variety said.

- None of the 20 Rotten Tomatoes critics reviews were positive and the Popcornmeter shows an 18% score, with critics calling it 'tragic' and 'cheap-looking' according to EurWeb.
- Viral backlash erupted as Redditor lunahighwind’s post about the 0% Rotten Tomatoes score gained over 2,600 upvotes in three days, and penguinz0 criticized the film in a viral video.
- The film's 'screenlife' style failed to resonate, making the narrative awkward and hard to follow, and fans and critics are questioning whether the remake was a good idea.
